Story:

Quickpaw was a young apprentice when his mother, Rainhail, was accused of murder.

Bluestar had gone out alone, supposedly to check something near the border, and was attacked by a dog. She had dragged herself back to camp, accusing Rainhail of leading her into a trap after she had told the leader to go out.

Bluestar promoted a very startled Ratstripe to leader, and his mother was outraged.

Mossheart had later decided to take her scared kits, apprentices at the time, out on a small herb patrol.

It was going fine until a large, starving rogue showed up. The rogue attacked him, and Quickpaw only had a moment to think before Icepaw had jumped in front of him.

Her throat was torn out. Mossheart chased the rogue away, but it was too late. His sister was dead.

Quickpaw blamed himself, and that only doubled when his baby sister, Fernpaw, barely an apprentice, went out on patrol alone to look for moss. She was killed by the same bloodthirsty rogue.

Quickbelly found the body. His baby sister’s front leg was severed from her body, her throat slit.

Lowhawk changed after that. He stopped bullying Quickbelly, and they became very close brothers.

They worked together so that one of them always went on patrol with Daisypaw, keeping her safe.

It was a very chaotic few moons, with Rainhail being demoted only for Mossheart to replace her, and Ratstar getting sick.

Quickbelly bullied his Clanmates a lot now that he was older, mostly harmless teasing. He always apologized when he went too far.

Daisydust, sweet Daisydust, went on patrol with Rainhail. Quickbelly and LowHawk let her go out with her mom. It was only a border patrol. She’d be fine, right?

Daisydust got stuck in a fox wire trap and bled out while Rainhail struggled to keep the wire off of her neck.

Quickbelly threw himself into any task he could find so he could be useful to the Clan.

Things looked up, many seasons later in leaf-fall when he met Fernfur. Fernfur was strong, and beautiful, and compassionate.

The two fell in love quickly, becoming mates.

Quickbelly recklessly led a patrol into a border skirmish with the hostile Beeclan. It was a freak accident, with Berrywhisper and two Beeclan apprentices breaking the ice on the river.

The three of them drowned, with Quickbelly desperately trying to pull them out of the water.

Rainhail was poisoned, and it was revealed that she had planned to murder Ratstar and Bluestar.

So, once again, he threw himself into patrols to distract himself, and helped his Clan a lot in Leaf-bare, becoming one of the top warriors.

Lowhawk was killed on patrol with a young warrior. Apparently, he had tried to protect Applefern from a fox.

Quickbelly was devastated. All of his siblings dead, he couldn’t keep any of them safe.

Over time, his Clanmates began to look to him rather than the deputy, and Quickbelly enjoyed it! He wanted to be deputy more and more as the moons went on.

A year later, Mossstar was killed by Sparrowbounce and Sparkbush. He wouldn’t learn this for a few years more.

Quickbelly and Owen spoke, deciding that Quickbelly should be leader and Owen should remain deputy.

The next year was when it happened.

He had gone out on patrol with the medicine cat, Fennelfin, late at night to look for catmint.

They had gotten into an argument, and the stars had lit up in colourful shapes and patterns, casting a shadow over Fennelfin’s face. It had to be a message, his first message!

His heart was beating out of his chest, his ears ringing from the loud crack that came with the dancing stars. He sank his claws into Fennelfin’s shoulders, smashing his head against a rock.

Why would Starclan want him to do this? He had never wanted to hurt anyone, and the fact that he had killed someone affected him greatly. He vowed to protect Fennelfin’s son, Webpaw.

He washed the body of his scent and made his way back to camp. He curled up with his sleeping mate and wished he could forget what happened.

The war with Beeclan lasted many years, and took many lives.

Things felt bleak until his first daughter was born. Mumblekit was perfect in every way, and moons later they had Ashkit!

Two more moons later they had Lavenderkit, Slightkit, and Rowankit.

It was perfect, their little family was perfect.

The war raged on, and tensions ran high as all the cats in the Clan received messages and omens from Starclan.

Everyone except Quickstar. Did they blame him? Why would they blame him? They told him to kill Fennelfin!

Slightpaw was murdered. He never learned who killed her. His daughter was dead! Why was Starclan doing this to him?

Mossstar had taught him to be faithful to Starclan, but how could he be if they did this to him?

The next season was when war reached its peak. Clans teamed up and fought, even the rogues forming a group to join the war.

Twenty-four of the cats he knew and loved were gone, and for what, a rivalry?

His lungs hurt more and more in the moons that followed, a tightness that even blazing star couldn’t heal him.

Something in the back of his mind told him that this was Starclan’s punishment, that all of this heartache was his fault. Why?

Morningshade, the kind medicine cat he had grown up with, who was basically his aunt, offered to end his pain by putting deathberries in his prey. But he refused, not wanting to go out like that. Like his mother.

Quickstar passed the next night, with his mate and daughters curled up by his side.

Additional Information:

--Submission by @wills-woodland-warriors​

--He is, of course, from clangen! He’s a sweetheart who was a snuggly quiet kitten. His siblings and most of the kits in the nursery with him had the bullying trait, and when Quick became an apprentice his quiet trait was replaced the bullying trait as well. Then as an adult it was replaced with troublesome and good fighter.

--He died at 137 moons, or 11 years old. Despite this he still appears very young and fit.

--In the Dark Forest he appears with cracked paw pads and raspy lungs with a wheezing cough.

--He loves to volunteer to help the apprentices with training.

--He knew Brownmouse when Brownmouse was just an itsy bitsy little kit!
